The City Hall bureau chief of The New York Sun, Dina Temple-Raston, reads from her new book at Barnes & Noble tomorrow. “Justice on the Grass” (Free Press, 302 pages, $25) is about journalists at two Rwandan press outlets who were charged with war crimes after the 1994 genocide.

Ms. Temple-Raston, who is also an associate editor of the Sun, spent several months over the course of three years researching the book on the ground in Rwanda. “I had to find something that went beyond the genocide,” she said. “People thought they knew the whole story.” Her first book, “A Death in Texas,” is about the effects of a brutal murder in a small town at Texas. Though the events of the two books are separated by geography and culture, Ms. Temple-Raston sees a connection. “While tragedy is interesting,” she said, “the recovery from tragedy is so much more interesting.”

Her next book, which she is currently researching, is about “religious intolerance and the seeds of terror.”

The photograph above was taken during Ms. Temple-Raston’s 2004 trip to Darfur in Sudan, where she performed ground-breaking reporting about the developing genocide there. She and Sun photographer Konrad Fiedler had given a ride to some Sudanese rebels, who accidentally left their grenades in the vehicle. Ms. Temple-Raston promptly returned the weapons. “In general, I don’t pick up live ammo,” she said. Her readers may beg to differ.

Reading: Tomorrow, 7 p.m., Barnes & Noble Chelsea, 675 Sixth Ave. at 22nd Street, 212-727-1227, free.
